dispaly monochrome video on Linux PC

Hi All,

I am using Linux PC with ubuntu 10.04. I have a monochrome(Luma only) video generated from sensor in RAW format(using ipnc).  Now the data is in a file on my PC. I want to play this 12 bit Y-only data using any player available.  Issues Listed below:

  1. VLC support only 8 bit YUV. (i.e 8R 8G 8B = 24bpp max). But i need 12 bit data support.  Since VLC can play data only in YUV or avaialable chroma formats,  minimum bits per pixel value = bpp= 36 in my case, whic is not supported by VLC.
  2. M -player has same issue.
  3. SDL can support only bpp=32.

    Is there any way, I can play 12 - bit RAW which is monochrome video? Please suggest.
